I always thought that part of Ebay rules were that you are not allowed to communicate outside of ebay and absolutely not allowed to "BUY IT NOW" outside of Ebay. In other words Money was not to be exchanged outside of the Ebay transaction confines??

Ebay doesn't pick up on this and shut this guy down?

You honestly think ebay gives a shite? They have too d@mn many transactions to follow up on them all. They made their $$$ when the guy listed it....

But don't they also get a percentage of the sale??

Yes, but they are making so much d@mn money they don't have time to track all these shysters. Even when you TELL them, they seldom keep up with them.

ebay is a damn good place to shop, especially for music. It is also good as you can get some sort of handle on the seller if you look. If you see snake oil, or a deal too good to be true - ?? I worked fraud for a couple of years. Old people, young people - all get taken wanting something for nothing.

In the last couple months, I have brought down two guys selling binoculars they did not have. They were putting up the new Lecia for half.
There are bargains on ebay, and great deals, but it is "buyer beware".

I always look at the other item's the seller has for sale. The seller is selling an expensive amp but all his other item's are weird low cost crap and then here's this nice amp for sale? I stay away! If there is other audio gear for sale I will take a closer look.
